Re: landlord tenant

If the renter left you the key, he or she would be deemed to have abandoned the property.

If no abandonment, legally you would have to commence a summary proceeding (eviction). Once you receive the Judgment of Possession and Warrent of Eviction, the property would be deemed abandoned.
